Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each
Division – a truth about God, a truth about man, a truth about God’s
relationship to man):

Principle: God
gives His people descendants to pass on a spiritual legacy.
2.Isaac’s Family Line (Genesis 25:19-34)
Principle: God
gives His people a spiritual birthright.
3.Isaac’s treaty with Abimelek, Isaac’s wells and Esau’s
wives (Genesis 26:1-35)
Principle: God
gives His people opportunities to be blessed and a blessing.
4.
Principle:
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Abraham dies, Esau sells his birthright, Isaac swears an
oath.
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, Learn, Understand, etc.):
TCMATK God’s will is done – His story is told – through
the lives of His people.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.What (heart change) transformation do I want my loved
ones to experience because of my current love for God?
What legacy of Jesus Christ am I leaving those who come
after me?
What needs to change for me to leave a godly legacy for
those in my sphere of influence?
2.What needs to change for me to have a greater respect
for what God has given me (my spiritual birthright)?
Where am I “despising my (spiritual) birthright”?
Where does my thinking need transformation regarding
protecting my spiritual birthright?
3.What needs to change in my heart to keep me from
duplicating sins of the past?
With whom am I making treaties and how does this impact
my witness for Christ?
4.
The Big Idea (author’s
main purpose in writing; the one thing all the other things in the passage is
about; if you couldn’t talk about it, you would still understand the passage is
trying to convey this):
God has a purpose for all people.
God’s will is worked through all people.
